Considerable more cost to convert to air ride over coil springs. Nice thing is that you can adjust stance of truck when you want wit the air ride. really comes down to preferance.

Contact both Air Ride and Air Lift. That will give you a good starting figure. I have bought from both. Also look in Clasic Trucks mag. You can pick up select items at great prices at reduced prices..Use all three as you need. I ended up spending less than $800 by shoping around. Instalation is very easy.
